The previous eight Winning the Race conferences have seen national, state, regional, and local experts and speakers discuss topics such as education, civil rights, economic development, and social justice, all in the context of furthering racial understanding. Registration is free and is now open at www.deltastate.edu\/winningtherace<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to conference chair Michelle Johansen, the event will go back to its foundations \u2013 facilitating engaged campus and community dialogue regarding current issues, connecting local people with each other, and collaborating to promote equity. She said, \u201cThis year\u2019s event will be less a conference and more of a workshop. We want to get people talking to each other rather than simply listening to presentations.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s gathering will be facilitated by the Alluvial Collective, the former William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation. Johansen said, \u201cWe will focus on connecting, community building, and equity through a more active and engaged format.\u201d<\/p>\n

DSU Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs Andy Novobilski said, \u201cBasically, we\u2019re taking a deep breath and re-evaluating the impact that the Winning the Race can have in the Delta.\u201d<\/p>\n

Attendees will register for \u201ccircles\u201d throughout the day, which will consist of no more than 20 participants and two facilitators per circle. The attendees will speak with and to each other through guided dialogue and prompts.<\/p>\n

There will be a free networking lunch for attendees to continue connecting and collaborating. \u201cDiscourse about the future direction and format of Winning the Race is welcome,\u201d Johansen said. \u201cThe ultimate goals are to engage with campus and community constituencies, promote continuing conversations, and rekindle action through sustainable and collective energy.\u201d<\/p>\n
